The Best Kind of Duct Tape Answered

Any duct tape that is relatively cheap and sticks well. I mean, that IS kind of the whole point of duct tape. Sticking well, that is.

duct tape or gorilla

my husband is a duct tape addict. he uses it for almost everything. we really like using Walmart's Mainstays but haven't been able to find it lately. He went to 4 different Walmart's yesterday with no luck. any suggestions?

I prefer purple Duck Tape.

Gorilla tape works great all around, but when I purchase normal duct tape, I pick the Duck Tape brand. The store brand is much weaker than the real stuff, and it performs very poorly.

Right now I have Scotch, Nashua, and Duck. Duck is the smoothest and (for me) is best for crafts that need a clean look.

nashua nashua nashua!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is the quality of Tape Brothers duct tape good? Its kinda cheap so im not really sure if I should buy it for making a duct tape wallet. Some advice please.

The military grade radiation proof duct tape.

i only get the silver/grey tape because my dad gets that for free from work but it sticks really well

I think camo duct tape is the best.

It depends. At first I hated Walmart's Mainstays brand duct tape because it was so cheap that if it stuck to itself it would rip itself apart if you tried to un-stick it. But I have noticed that it's thinner (which makes it good for making duct tape clothing) and cheaper per roll. (I'll continue later this later... I have to vacuum. D:)

gorilla tape isnt true duck tape its more like its cousin, like gaffers tape

I think 80% of duct tape junkies agree that duck tape is best. I mostly agree but for black duct tape. I get very large rolls of it at harbor freight. It is better quality than the colored Duck Tape

One of the christmas presents I received was a roll of duct tape purchased at "Big Lots" here by my daughter. It's 12 inches wide! She got another roll for her drama teacher...

i just use the bear tape... its what my mom gets so yeah..

You can get loads of the stuff from Duct tape here they even do Nuclear grade gaffer tape here

I would have to say the best duct tape I have used is Duck Tape and Ace Hardware brand tape is good as well.

if your makeing a wallet DON'T get the cheap stuff its all gooey and makes your credit cards black and nasty and makes your cloths gross and your money ect. In fact my fav tape is electrical I use it ALOT

I want to get some of that tape the NASCAR guys use. Anybody know what it is?

I think it is Duck tape. or as in Quack Quack.

i like intertape AC50 its incrediblly strong and comes in rolls of 120 yards.and incredibly strong. i used nashua and i hate it, its soft and pulls apart horribly and it stinks

if you don't plan on trying to get it off whatever you are putting it on, go with Gorilla tape. holds like all hell...

I like nashua.. I find other brands aren't sticky enough. Lee valley sells Heavy Duty duct tape that looks great, but I've never tried it.

Heavy Duty Tape

IMO, As long as it's grey on the outside, white on the inside and holds the Universe together, it's the right stuff. Seriously, I buy the cheapest stuff at the checkout of Home Depot and am never disappointed.

I got this book for xmas:
Ductigami

I prefer Duck Tape, it holds the best for my projects and comes in the best colors I've seen in tape

There is SOME duct tape I've seen at the cheaper stores (big lots, etc) that seems to have weaker fabric reinforcement, or perhaps no such reinforcement at all. I would think that should be avoided for most applications... Then there's the solid aluminum duct tape for areas that get particularly hot... I've got mixed feelings about things like gorilla tape. If you need something strong than regular duct tape, maybe you shouldn't be using tape...
